2nd great Jake Ransom Book - Where is the Third?

Would you listen to Jake Ransom and the Howling Sphinx again? Why?

yup - I would. Jake Ransom books are a wonderful tale - based on Jr high and Sr High Kids. They use their brains to over come problems and work together using everyone's strengths to create a great team that actually care for each other and get the Job Done. Refreshing in this day and age. Touch of History, Touch of Science fiction.

What other book might you compare Jake Ransom and the Howling Sphinx to and why?

Alfred Hitchcock's Three Investigator Series. Group of Kids use their heads to solve mysteries and outwit adult foes at their own game. Great outcomes. Great Mystery.
